A Macat Analysis of Alfred W. Crosby's The Columbian Exchange: Biological and Cultural Consequences of 1492 [Audiobook] by Joshua Specht, Etienne StocklandEnglish | June 8th, 2016 | ASIN: B01GQSFWVG | kbps | 1 hrs 38 mins | 45.45 MBNarrator: Macat.comEnvironmental factors shape our history just as much as - and sometimes more than - human factors. That's the premise of Alfred W. Crosby's 1972 work The Columbian Exchange: Biological and Cultural Consequences of 1492, a key text in environmental history.
